Almost two years ago, New York-based streaming video start-up Livestream was not Livestream. It was Mogulus, launched in 2007. “Mogul-us, as in “anybody can become a media mogul,” CEO Max Haot told TechCrunch at the time. The company bought the killer domain in 2009 when it rebranded around the trend of streaming live video.

The company is now more than 20 employees and growing, hiring for a web designer in New York as well as some positions in Bangalore and L.A. CLARIFICATION: Livestream is 120 employee in four offices (New York, Los Angeles, Bangalore India, Ukraine), including 50 full-time staff in its New York headquarters.
